Uninterruptible AC power supplies
Introduction
This chapter describes the considerations involved in using an uninterruptible AC power
supply (AC UPS) for the Panel PC.
Due to legal regulations related to reducing reactive-power consumption in public and private
electrical networks, all AC voltage supplies in Panel PCs feature a power factor correction
(PFC) circuit. Technically, there is passive PFC and active PFC.
Active PFC
All Panel PC 87x, Panel PC 577 and Panel PC 677 feature an active PFC. Active PFC
requires almost perfect sinusoidal input voltage.
Caution
Uninterruptible AC power supplies (AC UPS) with non-sinusoidal wave form damage the
power supply unit of Panel PCs with active PFC.
Make that the AC UPS supplies a sinusoidal output voltage in normal and battery mode for
use on a Panel PC with active PFC.
Selection criteria for an uninterruptible power supply
Uninterruptible power supplies with sinusoidal output voltage in normal and battery mode are
classified as "VFI-SS-…" or "VI-SS-…".
UPS characteristics are described and classified in EN 50091-3 and IEC 62040-3.

Solutions." Click on "Service & Support" under "Services" and search for the article ID

Connecting the equipotential bonding
A low-resistance ground connection ensures that interference signals generated by external
power supply cables, signal cables or cables to the I/O modules are safely discharged to
ground.
The equipotential bonding connection of the device is located at the connection elements of
the computer unit and is identified by the following symbol:

5.6 Connecting the equipotential bonding
Avoiding differences in potential
Differences in potential arise between separated system parts, which in some cases lead to
high equalization currents. This situation may arise if the cable shielding is terminated at
both ends and grounded at different system parts. Potential differences can be caused, for
example, by different power inputs.
Reduce the differences in potential by laying the equipotential bonding cables in such a way
that the affected electronic components function properly. Observe the following guidelines
when setting up equipotential bonding:
• When two system parts are connected by means of a shielded signal cable, and their
shields are both connected to the ground or protective conductor, the following must be
observed: The impedance of the additional equipotential bonding cable amounts to 10%
of the shield impedance, at the most.
• Ensure that the equipotential bonding cable cross-section is selected to accommodate
the maximum equalization current. The equipotential bonding conductor cross-section
that has proven best in practice is 16 mm2.
• Use equipotential bonding conductors made of copper or galvanized steel. Connect the
cables to the ground or protective conductor over a wide area. Protect the ground or
protective conductor from corrosion.
• Lay the equipotential bonding cable in such a way that the area between the equipotential
bonding cable and signal cables is as small as possible.

Keyboard
Principle
The layout of the membrane keyboard is "English/USA international."
Warning
Maloperation
If you activate several keys simultaneously, a malfunction on the device cannot be excluded.
Activate function keys and softkeys only in sequence! Use "KeyTools" as described in the
chapter "Additional drivers and applications."
Applies after the deactivation of the "security features" of "Key Tools" or after the
deinstallation of "KeyHook":
When the additional function keys and softkeys F13 to S16 are used, or when using your
own key code table, serious malfunctions of the user software can occur because the key
codes behind the function keys can also be activated by pressing keys other than the
configured ones.
Activating a key using a hard object, e.g. a screwdriver, reduces the life of the key.
Overview
The keyboard is divided into different functional groups:
• Function keys and softkeys
• Control keys
• Alphanumeric keys
• Numeric keys
• Cursor keys

BIOS error messages
Introduction
This chapter contains a selection of alarms, error messages and troubleshooting information.
Self-test POST
During booting, the BIOS first performs a Power On Self-Test or POST. This checks to
ensure that certain device components are functioning properly. The boot sequence is
interrupted immediately if critical errors occur.
If the POST does not find an error, the BIOS initializes and tests further components. The
graphics are already initialized in this phase of booting. Any error messages that occur are
displayed on the screen.

Riser card
Introduction
A passive riser card is used as the bus board. With a passive riser card, the interrupts are
fetched from the next slot on the motherboard via an adapter and cable. The cables are
plugged into the riser card and the PCI adapter and are not soldered.
Functional features
• Three free PCI slots (uppermost slot is suitable for for WinAC Slot module / two lower
slots for PCI, 175 mm long)
• The 2 "top" and "middle" slots each have a non-shared interrupt.
Specifications
The riser card conforms to PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.3 and ATX Riser Card
Specification 1.0.

Touch sensor
Principle of operation
The touch device variant operates with an analog-resistive touch sensor. An electrical field is
generated by electrodes along the edge of the sensor. These electrodes are arranged on a
specific grid on the active surface.
(OHFWURGHV
Figure 14-1
Operating principle of touch sensors
Functional restrictions caused by deformation of the field lines
A "scalloping effect" occurs at the edge of the display near the electrodes on all analogresistive touch sensors due to its intrinsic design. This leads to a deformation of the field
lines.
Figure 14-2

14.3 Touch sensor
Effects of the scalloping effect
Following the field lines at the edge of the display, the mouse pointer forms curves rather
than straight lines.
Figure 14-3
Effects of the scalloping effects on the mouse pointer
The scalloping effect, therefore, can make it difficult or almost impossible to select icons on
the edge of the display in Windows applications.
Generally, the following applies:
• The scalloping effect is essentially influenced by the size of the touch sensor and margin
area outside the active surface. The effect is smaller on a 12“ touch sensor than on a 19“
touch sensor, for example.
• Basically, the inaccuracy in the margin area of an analog-resistive touch screen caused
by scalloping effect cannot be avoided.

Currently allocated system resources
The system resources (hardware address, memory configuration, IRQ, DMA channel) are
assigned dynamically by the Windows OS, depending on the hardware configuration, drivers
and externally connected peripheral devices. Dialogs show the current allocation of the
system resources or existing conflicts.

ESD guideline
What does ESD mean?
Almost all electronic modules are equipped with highly integrated components and elements
in MOS technology. For technological reasons, these electronic components are very
sensitive to overvoltages and, consequently, to electrostatic discharge. These components
are therefore marked as follows:
• ESD: Electrostatically Sensitive Devices
• ESD: Internationally recognized marking for components and modules susceptible to
electrostatic discharge
The following symbols on switch cabinets, module carriers or packaging indicate their
susceptibility to electrostatic discharge:
ESD components are destroyed by voltage and energy far below the limits of human
perception. Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a device or an assembly is touched by a
person who is not electrostatically discharged ESD components which were subject to such
voltage are usually not recognized immediately as being defective, because the malfunction
does not occur until after a longer period of operation.
Note
More information is located on the rating plate. The rating plate is described in the chapter
"Planning use."
Precautions against electrostatic discharge
Most plastics can be charged easily. Therefore, keep plastics away from ESD components!
When working with electrostatically sensitive components, make sure that the person, the
workstation and the packaging are properly grounded. Conduct the electrostatic charge
away from your body by touching the mounting plate for the interfaces, for example.

Appendix
A.1 Certificates and guidelines
Handling ESD modules
As a rule: Only touch ESD components if unavoidable due to necessary tasks.
Only touch the components when the following holds true:
• You are permanently grounded by means of an ESD armband.
• You are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoes grounding protective strips in connection with
ESD floors.
Before you touch an electronic assembly, your body must be discharged. Touch a
conductive object immediately beforehand, e.g. a bare metal part of a control cabinet or the
water pipe.
Do not allow chargeable, highly insulated materials, e.g. plastic films, insulating tabletops,
synthetic clothing fibers, to come into contact with ESD components.
Place ESD components only on conductive surfaces (work surfaces with ESD surface,
conductive ESD foam, ESD packing bag, ESD transport container).
Do not expose ESD components to visual display units, monitors or televisions. Maintain a
distance of at least 10 cm to screens.
Handle flat components only by their edges. Do not touch component connectors or
conductors. This prevents charges from reaching and damaging sensitive components.
Measuring and modifying ESD components
Measure the ESD component under the following conditions only:
• The measuring device is grounded with a protective conductor, for example.
• The probe on the electrically isolated measuring device has been discharged, e.g. by
touching the bare metal of a part of the control cabinet.
• Your body is discharged. To do so, touch a grounded metallic object.
Solder only with grounded soldering irons.
Shipping ESD modules
Always store or ship ESD components in conductive packaging, e.g. metallized plastic boxes
or metal cans. Leave the components and parts in their packaging until installation.
If the packaging is not conductive, wrap the ESD component in a conductive material, e.g.
rubber foam, ESD bag, household aluminum foil, or paper, before packing. Do not wrap the
ESD component in plastic bags or plastic film.
In ESD components containing installed batteries, make sure that the conductive packaging
does not touch the battery connectors or short circuit. Insulate the connectors with suitable
material.
